I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-5(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.
I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.
I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.
I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.
Records requested:
Specifically, I am requesting a record or report of all Certificates of Occupancy issued between January 1, 2020 and March 31, 2026.
If available, please include the following fields:
Property address
Block and lot
Date of issuance
Type of certificate (e.g., resale, new construction, rental, temporary, etc.)
My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.

Good morning,
As a follow up to Paula's email, the construction department does not maintain certificates of occupancy in manner that your requested records can be provided. Pursuant to NJSA 47:1A-1.1 it has been determined that this request does not qualify as a document request pursuant to the OPRA laws and the definition thereof. This governmental custodian is not required to conduct research, analyze, collate, compile and/or correlate data from existing government records. A blanket request for all documents is not a document request pursuant to OPRA and existing case law. Pursuant to MAG Entertainment, LLC v Div. of Alcoholic Beverage Control, 375 N.J.Super. 534, 868A2d 1067 (App.Div.2005), and Bent 381 NJ Super 30. Under OPRA, agencies are required to disclose only “identifiable” governmental documents not otherwise exempt. Wholesale requests for general information which have to be collated, analyzed and compiled by the entity are not required.
Thank you,
Melissa
